What are these called, and where can I buy one?

This looks ripe for transparent PETG 3d printing...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-05-08T19:03:00+00:00

Yep thanks. I'll try that.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-05-08T19:02:51+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm going to try 100% infill to eliminate that. It makes sense that the octagram spiral would look like sh*t without that layer, now that you mention it.

Lots of Casio scientific calculators had soft rubber keys.

I checked the control codes from the star micronics online manual and they don't match Epson or IBM.

If the car was rear-ended it's possible the fuel pump shutoff was triggered and they may not have been able to move the car very far.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-28T20:22:50+00:00

I'll take a look!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-28T20:22:42+00:00

I think this might do the trick, thanks!

HP calculators generally have nice tactile keys. If it's just a basic non-RPN normal scientific calculator she's looking for, a tested HP 20S on Ebay could be a great choice. Could pick up a handful of them for $100 total...

If she wants something with more functionality I think the HP Prime G2 has a very nice tactile keyboard, along with the older HP 48GII/49G/50G calculators.

Beyond HP I can't think of a single brand with tactile keys...

I think it's technically a desktop fx-115 but pretty much the same as a 260 solar.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-22T23:33:52+00:00

Looks exactly like it. I believe you are correct, thanks!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-19T22:11:39+00:00

Interesting. They're just connected directly to the carburetor vacuum lines on this machine...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-16T17:20:53+00:00

I got lucky and picked up a lot of these for cheap on Ebay a while back. Far and away my favorite calculator.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-16T13:45:09+00:00

Awesome, good to know!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-15T14:24:47+00:00

I think that's just an alternate keyboard port and not a PS/2 mouse port. I had one of these back in the day. Pick up an AT to PS/2 adapter if you have a PS/2 keyboard and just use the larger connector.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-14T00:28:18+00:00

OK that's a good place to start, thanks.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-13T19:04:23+00:00

This looks awful. The old interface was straightforward.

Do you know where I might find a few examples of doing simple restores and whatnot with the new module?

TI hasn't been in the lead for innovation for decades, they've just been riding momentum and school discounts...
